Just posting WTF seemed a bit harsh really for a first response (although I am still thinking it) The boxed sets idea sounds to me like a good idea maybe for the DDM game if you want to expand it as an entry level product line using minis, maps and simplified rules which sells alongside the main D&D game. The issue then is how you get players to move on from just DDM to DDM and D&D as well, and how you market the two games so that the potential games buying public see them as complementary. I suspect with themed boxed sets with non-random minis in them you also hit Merrics law and are in danger of ending up with a very expensive "entry level" product that may actually cost more than the current core rule books (which can be found for £41.22 <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Dungeons-Dragons-Roleplaying-Game-Rulebooks/dp/0786934107/sr=8-12/qid=1169977110/ref=pd_ka_12/202-2786560-1579819?ie=UTF8&s=books" target="_blank">here</a>)Interesting ideas - this hybrid game just wouldn't be D&D as I (and many others) understand it. Marketing it as such would IMHO damage, and potentially destroy the D&D RPG brand very quickly. As I said, this would be a bad thing.</blockquote>
